Why is it terrible? The people that operate fruit machines do so because they want to make a profit, not to give money away.

Having read that article, it seems that it there is a chance you will lose on a fruit machine. You may not have the 70% chance of winning inferred by the labelling on the machine, but you still have a chance of winning.

Also that, article is actually wrong in some parts. It says that in any gamble, you have zero chance of winning. This is bull, as almost anyone who has played a fruit machine will tell you. It also seems to infer that any machine with hi and lo buttons decides you are going to lose before you push the button. This is wrong as well.

Also, they are basing their findings on an emulator. The emulator may or may not be accurate..
